Dearborn cops seize camera, stifle free speech
flockwoodIf America’s future looks like Dearborn, Michigan, get ready for less freedom of speech, freedom of assembly, freedom of religion. And for heavens sake, don’t try to take any pictures or shoot any video in a public place.

In the United States, free speech — even highly offensive free speech — is protected.
As a result, Communists can burn flags in Dallas. Nazis can march through predominantly Jewish Skokie, Illinois. Pornographers can portray TV evangelists as incestuous, Campari-swilling outhouse dwellers.
And Michiganders can talk about the world’s best-selling book on a public street. I think.
To me, the thing that is most interesting about this video is the portion where the videographer is detained and his camera is seized. In a free, Western, democratic nation, this should not happen.
